22. Update: He has legal representation

Wed May 14, 2025, 06:21 PM

May 14

The band said in an update to its posts on Wednesday afternoon that Said had secured legal representation and “we are waiting to hear what comes next.”

“We want to reiterate that we truly don’t know what’s going on,” the band wrote. “We have more questions than answers, but we will keep you posted as much as we can.”

CBP told NBC News on Wednesday that Said “was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection on Monday while attempting to depart the United States due to having an active arrest warrant” and was turned over to local law enforcement. The agency confirmed that he is a Mexican citizen and a lawful permanent resident.

CBP did not say what the active arrest warrant was for and referred NBC News to the Dallas-Fort Worth Department of Public Safety for additional details.
